State Holds First Of Two Information Sessions On Reducing Phosphorus Pollution

Facing strict new federal rules to reduce the amount of phosphorus from leaching into water supplies, state environmental officials held the first of two presentations Wednesday on ways to reduce pollution in stormwater runoff and sewage plant discharges.

The meeting, at the headquarters of the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, drew about 100 people from towns, cities and environmental groups from across Connecticut.
